So my Aunt and her partner Ray... Are having this dinner thing... they invited a two other women... who I hardly know... I was feeling quite anxious about going downstairs being questioned etc so I told my little cousin I was feeling down. My aunt come upstairs and was like "Ray has done all this cooking for you (Im staying at their house) and your not making the effort to come downstairs" I told her she was making me feel guilty and shes says "Good". She KNOWS about my depression/sa... and is usually understanding. But right now. Im a bit annoted and feel super guily. And I have no one to talk to

In my opinion yes and no.

On your side your feel anxious, and that's probably feeling they don't quite understand because they've never been anxious about things they do naturally, but from there point of view someones been slaving there self to make a meal, and you wont come downstairs to eat it :P

I mean I've done stuff like this to friends etc, always feel bad afterwards and its kinda hard to shake the guilty feeling off.

Still its not the end of the world and on the plus side I'm sure there will be plenty of family meals in your life

Just keep it as a reminded of what you should be aiming for in the future, to be able to enjoy other peoples company.
